Borderlands, Failed Job Interview And Other Notes

 Hi everyone,

Yesterday I had a job interview that was a hybrid position and everything was going perfect until I learned the job was not in Philadelphia on a major NJ Transit route, but down at the south end of Cherry Hill which is nearly impossible to get to and actually impossible to come home from based on the hours. I'm very disappointed because all the duties I would've done would've have ultiized my experience working for the Courier Post, Cheatp Trips and Maximum Research!

Now the interview ran long and I ended up being late for work, so I stayed on the 'phone' longer than scheduled, and I did not get a complete interview... hell didn't even one started!

On the plus side I may have another strong aspect to interview for an even better job, have to remember to return a call first thing in the morning!

Tonight's stream of Borderlands started off with me focused on various side quests related to New Haven and the Scrapyard, but we were joined by random players, one of whom took me to what was essentially and end game area where I was heavily under powered, but the goal was to level me up quickly and to work towards the final boss of the DLC content to be able to get the best loot in the game. Basically I ended up just following around and trying not to get downed or killed... so it ended up being a very unsual night.

Did end up getting achievements sooner than I would have thought all the same, so it worked out in that regard.

For the raid we dropped in on SweetLinder who was playing Sea of Thieves and Hint: Showdown over at twitch.tv/sweetlindir

Finished a commission requested based on Justice League Dark: Apokolips War, and now my attention turns to a Mass Effect commission request... and top it off I have another request on file for a WWE short story.

Iceman won't be able to join us for Wednesday night's streams, so we're taking a break from Resident Evil 6 this week, and so I'll feature Borderlands instead. I got several side quests to turn in, and if we're joined by the player who was with us tonight, we may go back to that DLC content. We'll see.

The scheduled start time for the next stream is 9:30 PM Eastern over on twitch.tv/fredcasden

Have a good night everyone!

Overwatch 2 and other notes

We were joined by PandaSweet for many matches in Overwatch this evening, and I branched out a little playing as a wider variety of character...
